About this image

I was very eager to photograph this amazing clouds complex from Lat 30° in Morocco. Being Dec -23° it is quite low in Manchester's horizon (and the light pollution). Thanks to Bortle 2, only 1hr total exposure and no special filters revealed these colourful intermingling clouds just above Antares.
